After playing quite a bit off capture during the Spring Edition, I noticed a few things that could be tweaked to make the game mode more enjoyable.

- MG should start 20 ammo instead of 10.

- The "base lost" announcement shouldn't happen if it's not my team that lost the base.

- The "base captured" announcement shouldn't happen if it's not my team that captured the base.

- Ammo spawn time on flags should be drastically shorter. With as fast as the gameplay is in capture and the amount of people that are usually on a team, your almost better off suiciding to get more ammo.

- The flag radar needs to be solid, it's too difficult to see in well lit maps or maps with brighter skyboxes.

- Force team to either Good or Evil.

- Some form or auto team balancing, quite often I find the teams to be off. Almost to the point where it's rare to find a balanced game.

/setteam playerid team is a one-step for the better,This makes it so that it will be balanced if there are 8 evil vs 3 good guys.

Dude, you realize that your sitting in front of a gigantic calculator, right? A computer is just an enormous number-crunching machine with extra buttons. The math thing does not suck, the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair.

Forcing unnamed to choose a name is a good idea. It would probably be better to use a slightly non-random means of choosing names, so the probability of getting the same name is lower. I guess it depends on the size of the name list though.

We should start a shameful names listing.

Here's a few:
Pickles
Sweety-pie
Scooter
Creampuff
Sissy
Asshat
Poopypants
Skippy

While we're at it: In the score-table, the team-score resulting from captured bases is displayed under "frags". I think this should not be named frags but "score" or something like that. And since the score-table already is sorted by number of (individual) frags, why not add the frags to the list (and get rid of packet jump which nobody uses).

I DEMAND this from you developers!
No, just kidding of course, thank you guys for the great game and listening to your players!

i like the idea of renaming frags to score and adding the real frags.

You're about a month late. CVS already fixed this quite a while ago. ;)

How about AssaultCube's naming system where duplicates have their client number at the end?

by ATIRULE on 07/17/2007 17:07, refers to #21

yea thats what i thought but it could be abused very easly

maby a random name gen like mlfsjen,ect,ect for unnamed and name stealers

but that would req a bit of work since sauer doesnt dectec the player nams only the clinet numbers =/

9*6=why do i have to start calc evey time i want to post

You have it reversed. It's Sauer's naming system that was backported to AssaultCube.

Thanks for the correction. :P

I think I remember knowing that... Oh, yes:
"* local renaming of duplicate player names (sauer backport)"

I suck. :(

To answer your mathematical lamentations - it is because you have not yet completed the third grade and therefore cannot multiply two numbers under ten in your head.

To comment on the rest of the topic, I'm glad to hear that quite a few good suggestions have been implemented in CVS and look forward to the next official release.
